      All my firewall rules that relied on aliases based on FQDN hosts is empty after the 2.02 –> 2.0.3 upgrade.

      New (FQDN) aliases does not generate anything in the tables

      pfctl -T show -t test
      [empty]

      :(

      I can do the lookups via diag DNS on my pfsense machine.

      Checked system DNS settings and did a reboot, problem is still there.

      Any thoughts?

      Thanks!

      pfSense 2.0.3 nanoBSD (i386) on Soekris net5501

        I  had this same issue. It brought my network to it's knees, seeing as I have time and host restrictions based off of FQDNs in aliases. I had to revert to 2.0.2. I would like to know if anyone else has had this issue.

          Mine all work fine in test VMs, hostname entries are in the tables as expected.

          Check Diag > Tables and see if you see them there.

          Also, is this amd64 or i386?
          Any errors in the logs from filterdns or similar?

          What does your /var/etc/filterdns.conf look like?

              For what it is worth, if I'm hammering the webGUI after a reboot and login really quick and check the Diag - Tables I will find the entrys.

              Then I'll check the command: 'pfctl -T show -t <alias>' and it is empty.

              And then they are gone from the webGUI on the next reload of the tables, so it seems to work for a short period after a reboot.</alias>

                I have now cleared unused firewall rules and some aliases, that did the trick! My FQDN alias is now listed in the table's.

                I don't have any specific rule to suspect, maybe it was the rule including policy routing that had an alias for the GW.
